Christmas robin

I love robins on Christmas cards. When I received this one a couple of years ago I knew that I had to keep it and recycle it, so this is a very simple card made very quickly - with a touch of glitter here and there.

This is for:

Sunday's with Santa (facebook): animal (well, a robin is part of the animal kingdom, right?)
Christmas stampin all year long: resist the temptation - no stamps at all
Christmas crafting 4: little robin red breast
Christmas inspirations 34: birds or flowers
Bling it on: no patterned papers
Gingerloft 26: the colour orange - a little or a lot
Paper creations ink 10: black and/or orange
Crafty catz 102: things with wings
Simply create 53: older than six months (everything used is more than six months old)
There's magic in the air Magical Monday: go green - no, it's not the colour green, but using a recycled card

O little town of Bethlehem

This is a card I made last night, using the front aperture of a card received a couple of years ago and a picture from another one that I put underneath this. The addition of a piece of white and gold backing paper from my offcuts box and the card was complete.

This is another card for my CHNC challenge 40: for a male (if you haven't yet discovered my Christmas blog, please hop over there - I'd love to see you join in).

This is for:

Bah! humbug 39: nativity

Squares and hearts

I've spent a lot of time today putting inserts in cards and bagging up ready for my Tearfund on Saturday - I haven't actually finished the job yet and I said I wouldn't make any more new cards until I have, but I couldn't resist.

So here is a quick card for the sketch for Cards and things 89:

It was difficult to get a photo with a flash - the card blank is actually a darker navy blue. The epoxy hearts are Country Companion, the background paper is an offcut piece of HOTP that's been in my scrap box for some time and the ribbons and gems from stash.
